DEATH OF KdTKOFF

The Cars will is a. solutc save in under
ground Russia But even under despouc
Government there is power OF puo lie opinion
behind the throne. Katkoff di ected aud
welded that power. As the conductor OF the
most successful and infiut ntial X 4ssian news
paper he exercised for many years greater In
fluence over public thought than the Cars
most powerful Minister. Early IN his career
when progressive ideas had penetrated to the
council-chamber of Alexander ii and ho-
eralism was a cause sanctioned by Imperial
example and authority, he was one oil the
most daring and Ihlosoph Cal oil the new
school of reformers. AS time went on his
conservatism became apparent lie was one
of the bittcrest opponents oil revolutionary
doctrine and socialistic vagaries; and Nh
wonted license was tolerated in the manage
ment of his journal because it antag mel
most sharply and powerfully the disorganz-
ing tendencies of the Whilst propaganda
He was a man of tireless en- rgy and & cat
force of character, with singular faculty OF
arousing enthusiasm for large conceptions OF
national policy He was more than ultra
Russian; he was u tra,Slav. with profound
faith in the destiny OF mighty but divided
race The union of Slavic nationalities under
the headship of Russia was the unique con-
cepton which swayed his imag nat on. The
idea wholly mastered him. and his best work
ing years were devoted to the preaching oil
the political gospel of Pan-Slavism.
Katkoff's influence had been most powerful
before tho opening Of the present reign, when
he became the Cars most influential cOun-
sellor and was popularity known Is the strong
cat member of the Trumvirate. He forced
Alexander II to crush revolt In Poland with
an iron hand In 1864, and the war for the
liberation Of Bulgaria was brought on in
large part through his ceascless efforts 10
promote the progress Of Pan Slavism- The
ultimate failure Of Russia to II tain control OF
the Balkan States and the frittering away OF
tho diplomatic and military prestige acquired
in campaign fraught with blood and sacri-
fee embittered his declining years. He held
Bismarck responsible for the non-fulflment Of
Slavic hopes. Ut late years his journal has
been denouncing Germany as the most selfish
and treachcrous foe Of Russia; and not long
ago Prince Bismarck found 1t necessary in
order to counteract The hostility of "1hc
Moscow Gazette" to d.vulge the secret diplo-
matio history Of the war OF 1877. and to prove
that Germany had aoquiesoed in Prince Gort

trality of Austria. IL was this blind and I'M

The fact that neither municipal. nor Naf'onsi

boats clearly indicates the need OF addi1onai
legislation on the subject When ferryboats were
exempted from the operation Of the present law
such ferries as those directly crossing the North

for six or eight miles down the Bay, over a course
as long and rs subject to peril as those OF many
excursion steamers Moreover, at certain hours
those at which the crowding is greatest-tbe boats
of those ferries are actually il not nominally ex-

bound merely for q days an evenings outing

why these boats should not be made subject to the
same restrictions as those that run to Sandy Hook
or CoDcy Island or Rockawsy Beach. Over
crowding probably does not occur on them to as

REPUBLfCAN EDITORS IN CONFERENCE

REPUBLICAN, EDITORS IN CONFERENCE
The meeting of Repu lcan ed tors and
newspaper proprieto nj Saratoga yesterday
must have an excellent effect upon the fill
campaign In this State. Tn me .hod OF stun
uatine p0liticll interest through a full, frank
and open discussion by responsible and in
thcntial cit gems of the is,bes and lines upon
which a cam Jaign should be Tough. is char
acteristc of the R publican party. 1t shows
how close to this people the party organ "a
ton aims to get. The editors who met yes
to-day came from all parts of the State. They
know the sentiments and wishes OF the peo-
ME. They repro EN- all the rious wings
of the marty, and if they have C. ueht The
shirt of the occasion thIt brought them to-
ccther and have returned to their homes full
,f the ardor and resolution that our political
opportunity warrants, they will be lar
gieater power in the campaign Than they
otherwise could have been.
1t is always difficult to get out the rural
Republican vote. 1T has t. be taken by the
shoulder and Wig rously aroused Its interest
must be excited, its intelligence Appealed TO.
The country Republicans Will not take the
trouble to go TO the polls in their full strength
unless they can be shown that there Is
tang BILE issue to vote upon. This meeting
of the leading Republican Journalists OF the
State will accom- li,h great deal OF benehcai
work in this direction.
There is now before the party no issue as
10 men. 1t has chosen it leader in Senator
Uiscock. There is no o, casion for any ono
ID sulk or hold back. There Is no call Tor
factions or cl sses within the party. Cd
prejudices, purely tn SUI o. pcrs nal AT

and can only serve t, i'm. erl our chances.
That those who's tlsk is 10 inform AM couJ-

edly accomplished its cnd. The Republican
journals tDr ug out the State will now act

present the issues of the camp ign from a
common point of view, ami wi ] work with
n more abundant ca )ital OF en- rgy and IN

ization effected yesterday will be made rs
permanent AZ is nee ~ssary to get our party
press readily together. Meet ngs of this kind
will do good alike to the editors, the political
leaders and the yo ers.
